The Prisoners for Palestine hunger strike was a hunger strike in the United Kingdom that began on 2 November 2025, undertaken by 8 people incarcerated for alleged pro-Palestine protest action. The hunger strike was the biggest in UK prisons since the 1981 Irish hunger strike. All 8 prisoners are being held on remand for alleged direct action at either Elbit Systems UK's Filton research hub in August 2024, or at RAF Brize Norton. The last two of the group, Heba Muraisi and Kamran Ahmed, ended their hunger strikes on 15 January 2026; by then Heba Muraisi's protest had lasted for 73 days.
